Well, whey protein has a tendency to spike insulin. Nor does it contain any fiber. If you can, eat actual food. Otherwise, you might want to mix it with fat/fibers to spike insulin less. Flax, oats, cocnut milk, cinnamon, whatever you prefer.

From what I understand, being in a caloric deficit and doing long intense cardio is going to have a negative impact on your muscles. Probably nothing to worry too much about, however. If you're in fact doing some body weight execising, that should counterbalance it a bit. E.g. marathon runners are usually very skinny. Body…
